I heard from our AVP and SVP today that all of our department’s roles in El Segundo are being made redundant and backfilled to Dallas. So it’s either pack up your bags and join the herd in Downtown Dallas or leave. Exactly how bad is it down there... — read more 

because I just glanced quickly, but I think Stankey may have sent a Holiday email today where he actually didn’t berate his employees and encourage them to quit. Actually oops I deleted it.

Are any internal departments actively filling positions?

Just remember that your entire livelihood and career is worth about 1/700 or even more of the $74m discretionary executive bonus pool for 2025. This is split by 5 employees. Your whole family and your dependents and kids futures are just a rounding... — read more 

You will be laid off asap because your function can and will be done elsewhere for less cost.

Layoff notices today in chief security org in ct and ga. (Great economy, we are so winning).

The Verizon and TMO layoff boards aren’t looking any better— in some cases they make gasp at&t look “good”. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Don’t believe me? Go take a look ……… complete shítsh0w over there.

This has been the worst week yet shorting me nearly an hour each day. Why can’t these mo--ns get this right?

Official notification day for Caleb D. Org. Off payroll 12/10

Can we declare independence from this “leadership” team? Because honestly, the disconnect has become absurd. Employees are living in reality while the executives operate from some alternate universe where everything is “strong,” “aligned,” and “on... — read more 

Att quickly discovered some unauthorized access to customer online accounts in August. User is and answers to security questions were obtained from outside of att and used to log in. Impacted accounts have been locked by att.

We started the town hall strong, but things took a turn once the conversation shifted to “culture” and how we plan to integrate it into everything. It was disappointing to hear how culture and sentiment were being framed. Culture isn’t a buzzword or... — read more 

Is there a companywide hiring and promotion freeze in the US, or just JVB’s? If so, how long have you been in your same position?

ATT’s Assistance programs are an absolute joke. Going through IVF is already a headache and then when you submit a claim a few months past their arbitrary deadline (even with receipts) it’s denied. Been nothing but loyal to the company since I’ve... — read more

I’m done with RTO for the rest of the year. Seriously. This whole 5 day grind has drained every ounce of motivation I had left. If we aren’t back to a sane hybrid schedule next year, I’m out. No hesitation. No second guessing. I love my work, I’m... — read more 

We all know more layoffs are coming, it's the new norm. Any thoughts on what could be targeted next?

What events are planned at your office in advance of the Thanksgiving holiday? My floor is having a potluck lunch.

It wouldn’t shock me at all if people got cut just days before either holiday, which would be the cruelest timing imaginable.

So the goal here is to take longer and use an application that jumps through 9 different screens that serve no purpose. Bouncing little ba--s and a screen that just freezes. So what kind of kick backs did someone get paid for us to buy this worthless... — read more 

Seriously, the guy just cuts heads- couldn’t literally anyone do that? So what exactly makes someone a great leader? Apparently here it’s leading us to lots of debt, pi----g off most employees, forcing overcrowded buildings, having the arrogance to... — read more 

Has anyone heard anything going with T?

Even the plumbing gods hate RTO. El Segundo office closed today due to no running water. Hopefully the rain expected this weekend will make for a nice long, slow repair process. Doubt it but it would be nice. Great to be to work without distractions... — read more 

The company keeps asking us the beginning of every quarter for a show of interest in VSB but then nothing. SHIW ME THE MONEY!!!!

I know I have been away for a couple weeks due to vacation, CGDO, and illness so I did not attempt to make sense of those weeks. Most recent report is pretty accurate, but still wrong and understating my hours in the office, as always.

Heard Jeff’s vest was in NJ today. Who’s got the T? What did he say?

Thanks to the Johnny and Jeffrey sh-t show, our insurance tripled in cost. Same exact options at a worse provider. This is what Leadership and The Board thinks of us who gave them decades of our lives.

I wonder why he just reorged his group this week if he is retiring in 2.5 months.
